My time has come.

After 4 years in total, but 3 continual years in this community it’s time to step away.


I remember all the way back to the summer before freshman year, I was recruited by Templar Legend, Banana. Amidst the 2019 Help Force, Aliens, and Royals war. . My first battle was the Invasion of Cream Soda. I was quickly ranked up to HCOM and then to the leader. Leading back in the day is a lot more relaxed than back then. But only 1 month later I was couped. The rest of 2019 was a blur to be honest with you.

September 23rd, 2019

After taking a few month long break I got snapped by Xing and recruited me back in, I was a HCOM again. But I worked my way back up to leader after 3 months.

The rest is history, maxing 50+ for a while, being #1 every week for around a year, winning many wars, leading from my schools bathroom stalls, writing my letter to senior self about Templars,winning Legends cup and, the highest prestige in this community, Major Army Legend. Though time consuming I am glad that I have met a lot of great people and made some friends. I wish I could have done more, but I am grateful l for the time that I have had.

I should seriously consider becoming a lawyer with how many CPA court defense cases I write…

Contention 1:
To start this off, this is clearly a pisspoor attempt at getting out of this war, and should be denied access happening. To prove this I shall be bringing up the legitimacy of the “war” between Strawhats and SWAT, and the war terms waged against SWAT.

1A: To start, let’s talk about the legitimacy of this war, Strawhats (who are affiliated with SWAT) declared on SWAT and had a 5-minute war without any battles… Then Mercs (also affiliated with SWAT) declared on Strawhats closing off any other army from invading the rest of SWAT’s land. Let’s start with the first thing, both are AFFILIATED with SWAT (see reference 1). Why would an Army declare on an Army they are obviously affiliated with? This is a planned out action to loophole themselves out of the war. When looking at the Strawhats declaration, there is no reason for the war besides “win the 5v1 war”.

1B: Next, let’s look at the real declarations against SWAT. Looking at IW, TCP, HF, and WVs war post (reference 2-5) in all 4, it says “A withdrawal from this conflict for any reason and in any shape or form” thus making this a breakage of term number 9/10 (depending on which post). As SWAT intelligibly chose to surrender from the war in their own post (reference 6). This is a rule breakage and will be talked amongst CPA Admins and all parties included.

In conclusion, you really should read all the terms before doing something really stupid…

Over the last week or so, there have been many things happening to the SWAT “Sorry We Aren’t Trained” army, otherwise known as “Stand (and) Watch All (the) Time”. From being in a pickle with 4 armies that can max more troops with just staff, to having to “coup” 60% of your leaders, and to maxing 7 on a defense of your land. It’s been a tough time to be a SWAT troop.

Let’s look at the greatest parts of this war so far.

Not to burn you more, but lets talk about that GC you made late Saturday night/Sunday morning (around 12am my time)…. Didn’t you tell me to make an alliance with SWAT because WV, IW and HF would backstab us?

I have learned that SWAT Guardian Angels can make alliances like a leader does, make instant decisions like a leader does, AND still have access to leader GCs like a leader? Seems fishy too me.

But SWAT doesn’t always have bad takes….

In conclusion, I still think there is something still going with SWATs leadership behind closed doors. But that could just be me… Anyways hope you had a good laugh.

-Templars Leadership

Since most of the community is waiting on this post, I’ll try to make it quick.

Background:

Earlier today, the Templars declared war upon the Rebel Penguin Federation otherwise known as RPF. With every BIA vs Templars, there is always drama in the first few hours. . So I am here to clear up the smoke, with some nerd coding and developer mode.

In RPFs recent post, the main point is that we declared war and then accepted land from RR. Which is a fair point if you don’t know what discord snowflakes are (message ids)

I found a good explanation off of google, “A Snowflake is a unique ID for a resource which contains a timestamp. To copy a snowflake, you must have Developer Mode enabled in Discord. On desktop, click the ⚙ button next to your name and look in the Advanced tab. Then you can right click on any message, user, or server and choose Copy ID in the menu.”

TLDR: Discord snowflakes help you track the exact time a message was sent.

So with taking the message IDs I put them in a machine and these were the results…..

Conclusion

In conclusion, RPF post is invalid and cowardly, see you soon xoxo
-Templars Leadership

I usually don’t engage in this type of stuff, and I usually don’t enjoy it. It’s drama over a penguin game. But what makes me do this, is this.

Before we get to the severe claims let’s go into the other claims. Multi-logging and the accusing of cheating from both sides.

First off, in the post, you accuse us of accusing you of multi-logging. We were not. Our post says, “And the funny thing is, the Mercenaries have cheated in the past, with their sudden size increase when they moved from club penguin rewritten to Yukon, a CPPS, which is really easy to multi-log on”. Where does it say we accused you of multi-logging? We implied there was suspicion and pointed out why, but never actually accused you. On the other hand, the AUSIA multiplier wasn’t us. That was CPAHQ. We just brought it up in our post. (see below). Now to the multi-logging claims. I’ve heard this so many times. But every time a multi-logging claim comes (since the start of my leadership in Nov. 2020) out there is always never enough evidence.

A content warning.

Alright, going back to this claim of d*xxing one of your community members. First off, I am sorry this happened to this person and what you saw in that VC. No one should ever have to be the victim/see what happened within your server.

In your post, you claimed that the Templars were responsible for d*xxing one of your community members. I DMed Zucculente after I saw the post, to make sure the person who was responsible would face major repercussions. (Below are the messages after the screenshots were posted to keep the victim safe).

Disclaimer: I said below, “I mean templars have been raided so many times just for an open public server”. This is just an example and not sugarcoat what the victim went through. I am thankful Templars have never been seriously raided. And am truly saddened to hear what happened.

Judging by our messages, Zucculente can only make the correlation that this happened on the night we declared war and that Xing, is a “bad influence”. Therefore, there isn’t any solid evidence that a Templar is responsible for the raid / d*xx. However, I will take it upon myself to investigate further, if I can.
Since this is accusing xing of influencing a troop to do this. I asked xing what he thought and this is what he said:
“Seeing as how I’ve been a victim of being doxxed 4 times and swatted an innumerous amount of times by Security and others, I don’t think I would influence someone to dox someone else. Seeing as how horrible such a thing could be. They “think” it could be someone from Templars without any concrete proof and decide to lay the blame on me because why not. To lay the blame on us and say we endorse these sorts of things and push forward these things is absolute insolence on the part of the Mercenaries. Templars have always been heavily anti-doxxing, anti-pedophilia, and anti-anything that would further degrade the community. Especially when it comes to things such as doxxing and releasing personal info out to the public. I was almost doxxed by a certain 54x back in February. The pure hypocrisy coming from the Mercenaries is absolutely implausible and without backing. To say that I motivated a troop to do this without any concrete evidence and based on flawed instinct is absolutely horrid and should not be considered a valid excuse. This is especially when it was claimed so confidently within their response post towards our declaration of war upon them. Read the screenshots given to me by Racecar, it had appeared to me that these decisions were made on pure speculation and not backed by fact. Whether this happened or not, coincidentally with our war declaration, is absolutely unsupported amongst Templar staff and troops. We also do not support the unbacked speculation shown by the Mercenaries, leadership and justification of their speculation via their hatred of the Templars and myself included”

. To end this off, on the behalf of Templars and its leadership, I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience that has occurred during this time.

Today logged on to fight in CPAHQs New Year Bonanza! We fought against 3 armies out of the 8 armies in the battle! Those 3 were Help Force, Water Vikings, and SWAT! We did our best and ending winning! Here are some of my favorite pictures from today!

MAX 61

With that out of the way, let’s get to the event pictures!



Anyways, thank you to all that attended and took pictures! I would also like to thank the CPAHQ admin and Judge team for letting this event happen and for how smoothly it went! Also to the CPR moderators for letting all the armies log on to the same server, for the battle! Shout out to the leaders today Xing, Racecar, Echo, and Nicky! THIS IS FOR YOU TEMPLARIA!!!

CPA people! Hello! I am currently making this while doing my homework. But grades can wait cause this is too funny. To all the IW and RPF, thank you for the best Christmas present EVER!! I have always wanted the attention of the 2 best armies in the cpa community. So thank you.


Templar leader’s responses to the recent war declarations on the Templars.

Part 1: Breaking your OWN league’s rules:

I don’t get this. Breaking league rules? YOUR own league rules? Unless that’s not what you meant… But I can wait another 4 months for an official response.

Part 2: Conflicting terms??

Its a 1v1 but a 2v1 but the other army cant conflict? Maybe should have done one war but allow allies or talk about more with your allies. But its besides me.

Part 3: A fall from a complete monopoly.

At the start of 2020, if you asked any army community member about what armies were number 1 and 2. Everyone would said IW and RPF 100% of the time. But now its not IW and RPF 100% of the time but maybe 60% of the time now. The monopoly of the BIA has shifted and they realized this, good on them, so they acted. But they needed two booms Templars and MM. And they both come, and boom CPAN is made. CPAN was a good league but time came to quick and the response were too slow. Also the fact about corruption, xing said every army is corrupt not just you, the world doesn’t revole around the BIA. Get your tea bags out of the world cup!

As a result Templars drop from CPAN league.

So take your time doing your response posts and getting judges into place or whatever. We won’t attend in your BIAs league. From the start it was Templars idea to get the attention of these armies, we succeded. Amazing Christmas Present, Thank you Sir Icey and F6! More posts to come!
